Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sovana
Against Galveston County at 46.2%, 100% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 23.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Galveston County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
Average gross rent is $1,889, 12% above the League City average. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 4% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.5/10. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $162,981, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
